What's the best pick up line you've ever gotten?

Or given. Couldn't hurt to expand our repetoires, right? Mine was at a bar in San Diego near a naval base. One earnest young sailor kept staring up at me, then said "You're what we're fighting for." (Okay, the delivery helped.)

I was visiting a friend in upstate NY when one of the guys from west point commented to me'' Damn, you've got it comin and going''..... We gave each other a LEWINSKY in the car, that was the last i'v heard of him................

It was in the grocery store. I was in the pet food isle and I steped in and bent down in front of this hot good looking guy. I said I was sorry for cutting in front of him and he replied. "Don't be. I was enjoying the view".

What can I say. I haven't been "picked up" since I met my man! LOLBut on New Years Eve the year my man & I met, a short, handsome, fireplug of a muscle man told me at the trashy bar where we all sipped crappy champagne at midnight: "I'm finally drunk enough." I said "For what?" He says "To say 'hi' to you.."I took him home. The sex was not as good as the view of him naked.

This one require some "set-up", but it's a classic. I was at a hotel in Miami. I was diligently studying Chinese at that time and had taken my books down by the pool to study. There were very few people around. A guy (okay looking - just not my type - and just not into hooking up) sits down right beside me. He asks about studying Chinese. I answer, but make it clear that I just want to be left alone to study. Then out of the blue he say's..

"How do you say, ' I think you're hot and wanna fuck you?' in Chinese"?

Somewhat disturbing since it was in the locker rooms of a gym, and I didn't even understand it at first.

I was looking at my face in the mirror at the sink after washing my face and sort of in a daze, when someone walked by and said "staring at it isn't going to make it look any better than it already is".

Not a pick-up line story so much as a 'being-to-dumb-on-my-part-to-realize' story

I was alone on the gay beach in St Petersburg Fl many years ago---back when I was a greenhorn-- and this guy walks past me and says "Do you have the time?" I looked up and noticed he was wearing a watch, but said "2:45" and he just stared at me and then walked off. **Shrug**

I was getting out of my car at my apartment complex and someone else parked right next to me and was getting out as well. He then came over and asked me "what was the definition of truth?". Me being completely baffled as to why he was asking me this, I said "I don't know, you tell me" and he replied "when two carnivores go down on each other". After a second, I thought about what a carnivore was and proceeded to blush really hard and I went on about my business and he stood there while grabbing his crotch and watched me as I walked away.

I was at the Detour in San Francisco and there was a box boy gyrating away. There was also this handsome scruffy guy whose eye I was trying to catch . . . ME: "You should be up there (pointing at the box boy).

HIM; "Oh . . . I don't think so."

ME: "You should let me be the judge of that."

That was the beginning of a beauty "friendship with benefits."

===================

For the record, in most social situations (orgies and backroom bars excluded) a "Hi. My name is . . . " probably the best start.

Guys rarely used fancy pick-up lines on me when I was single, except some general compliments:

- "You have really beautiful eyes. Don't hide them behind glasses."- "You have a lovely smile; you should use it more often." (I only agree with the second part of that)- "I guess from your leathers that must be your motorcycle outside?" Yes, that was often my gay club calling card and bait.- "Love your facial hair!" I often wore a very trim yet thick black beard.- "I heard your stunning voice across the room and had to see who it was; are you a radio announcer?" Actually, yes I have been, and why I sometimes project my voice for just that reaction.

Whereas I feel too self-conscious to do goofy pick-up lines. Instead, when we've talked awhile and seem to hit it off, I simply ask him: "So, you wanna go home with me?" Surprisingly, it used to work fairly often.
